👍 Apparently Barra’s is no more, remodeled into “upscale” bar according to receptionist. No karaoke, just a DJ Saturday night 10:00-12:00 midnight. People often mention shot,

    I ordered 10 wings and fries, the order was $27.88!!! I've literally never paid $19 for 10 wings, it's incredibly expensive and not tasty enough to justify the price. The wings weren't bad, they were just boring, and nothing special. The fries were a tiny serving size for $6 and tasted like cold mcdonald's fries. I would not recommend eating here.

    Go here once a week for the amazing staff and the chefs tables rib eye, sautéed vegetables. Logan, Kevin, amber and Ryan are all great bartenders. They remember us, and what we drink. Admittedly the place itself needs a little upgrade from the owner. But the staff keeps me coming back.

    What a great place! Up from Central Florida to try some snowboarding for the first time and came here for lunch. Met Burt who was super friendly and knowledgeable. Recommended a great cigar which added a nice touch to our whole experience. Thanks!

    Drove from Arkansas - called ahead to see if the college World Series was available to watch. Jeannie was super personable and turned the game on nearly as soon as I arrived!!!! She provided excellent service as well.

    We enjoyed the full bar and low key, relaxing vibe. Great place to hang with friends. The food menu from Sorrento's is available here.

    Shauna on the bar is excellent. Also Joe and Kevin are amazing bartenders. I own a local bar and restaurant and this is my go to place to relax and just have a good drink. Love the Greeks Salad with blackened Chicken. Highly recommend if you are looking for good food and a place to relax and have a drink.

    Fantastic place with fantastic service. My brother in law and I took our monthly road trip from Hickory NC and Banner Elk was our destination. The Barra aka Sorrento's was the perfect midway point stop for cold beer and great food. Thanks to our bartender and server Mark for the awesome service and all of the great local advice. To Craig and Burt thank you for your professionalism and willingness to go out of the way to provide us with information. And thanks to Angelo for taking the time to hang out with your patrons. It was like I was back home in New York talking with friends and family. Highly recommend and will be returning for sure.

👍 I would really give it 4.5 stars. We were pleasantly surprised with how good it was. And the live singer they had - well I was skeptical. That is hard to pull off. But I have to say that I was a real fan at the end. He did an amazing job. He is worth seeing. There is a Vegas lounge feeling since all...

👍👍 Cool little bar in Banner Elk. On a nice day they are able to open up the front and they have a little bar you can sit at in the fresh air. They have a nice selection of beer from local breweries as well as other alcohol options. No food, just a straight up small bar.
